Also you are comparing two distinctly different environments with the ion drive and this cooling solution.  The ion drive is meant to provide propulsion by the force of shooting ions away from the craft in a vacuum.  Good luck getting a cooling breeze from the Ion Drive in space.  This cooling solution using electricity to move ions in an area which bump into air molecules to provide cooling.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kal326]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 10:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/ionic-cooling-system-adapted-for-laptop-use-scalded-laps-cautio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/ionic-cooling-system-adapted-for-laptop-use-scalded-laps-cautio/</guid><description><![CDATA[I welcome technology that will make all computers silent and heat-free - once and for all!

Cooling a laptop is the same as cooling your house. It means moving the heat to the outside to keep the inside cool. As such, the better cooling system a laptop has, the hotter it will feel on your lap ("scalded legs").<br><br>The real way to make it actually cooler on your lap is not to have a better cooling system, but to actually generate less heat, which means making it more efficient or just plain less powerful.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[why not the LS2LS7?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 12:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/ionic-cooling-system-adapted-for-laptop-use-scalded-laps-cautio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/ionic-cooling-system-adapted-for-laptop-use-scalded-laps-cautio/</guid><description><![CDATA[True, but this is pretty much silent, and thats always a bonus]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oli D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2009 1:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/ionic-cooling-system-adapted-for-laptop-use-scalded-laps-cautio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/ionic-cooling-system-adapted-for-laptop-use-scalded-laps-cautio/</guid><description><![CDATA[Or you can just, you know, use it on a table or something.
